A-Z Challenge Letter T is for Thank you

T is the A-Z Challenge letter of the day. My T will represent (T)hank you. I felt the overwhelming need to say it this morning. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments and support from my followers, old and new alike. Thank you to those who have stuck with Jaybird and the Bird's Nest from my very first A is for Anarchy post and have hung on all the way up until now. Thank you so much for embracing my brand of crazy. You guys rock my world!

OK, I'm done being polite. I've spared you long enough. It's time to drop some of my poetry on your asses. I've titled this The Golden Circle. Who can impress me by taking a guess at what the golden circle might represent?

My first thought was wedding ring (or at least a wedding ring on the wrong finger); then I thought of a halo...not that halo's themselves are bad, but the attempt to always be perfect suffocates and destroys the self.

Either heart break or despair. Samantha May makes a good guess too. Great poem and you're welcome and glad for all the support you've gotten Jay. And thanks for commenting on my blog and mentioning how I've kept up. It's nice to be told that people notice.

Very nicely done. I'm going to go along with 'love', and I don't think it's as sad as it sounds. When you're truly in love with someone there is generally no 'me' me but it is replaced by something better; 'us'.

Gah! I am really, really hoping that you explain this poem tomorrow! I think it could possibly be marriage, but I am not entirely sold on that idea. But seriously, this is going to keep me awake! I must know :)

Hey Guys! Thanks for all of the amazing guesses- any of you who guessed "wedding ring" were right!

I know that sounds awful, but let me explain. Years ago I dated someone for a long time (about 4 years) and he asked me to marry him. As soon as we got engaged, and my fiance slipped that ring on my finger, I started to feel like I couldn't breathe. I didn't think I could ever be myself and still live up to all of the expectations he had/wanted of me. Thank God I had the strength to call it off, before it was too late.

As soon as I knew I couldn't go through with it, I slipped the ring off. I was heart-broken, but could immediately breathe again. Don't feel bad for him, he gladly took the ring back, sold it and bought himself a brand new red Porsche with the money. It all worked out for the best. He is a nice guy and a great friend, but obviously, he just wasn't the one for me. (Nor I for him.)
